What a Dad...What a Daughter!

I love this picture so much! It just is Matt and Baylee. It's a super reflection of a super day the two of them had together.

Baylee's softball team, Showtime, played in a tournament one Saturday...all day long! Softball is a big part of our lives during the season and will continue to be as long as she loves it. Matt helps coach her team and has a consistant policy that you don't have to be the best but you better give your best, or don't step out on the field! Baylee (being the very strong willed gal that she is) has a consistant policy of speaking her mind...even to her dad...even on the field! But this day was different. There was no room for bantering between the two of them. For whatever reason, Baylee was on a mission after the first game. They fought hard for a W and against the odds and annoyingly rude fans, they got it! She made the comment more than once that day that she wanted to win the tournament. The passion for a win quickly spread through the team and they took home some beautiful trophies that evening! Matt and I were so proud of the effort Baylee gave that day...she never quit...she gave it her best all day long AND she earned the game ball! Matt believes that kids gain valuable charater traits through sports that will help them along later in life...and after this day I would have to agree! Baylee learned that with a pinch of passion and a load of effort, she can do anything! Softball season is just around the corner and they have their first practice this afternoon. So to Matthew...thank you for the dad that you are to my girl! To Baylee...practice and play like you did on this day, pray, and let's see where He takes you this season!
